NEVER WAKES UP.


THE LIFE OF HIS SON.
At Cuthbert, small town in the interior of
Georgia, early last Thursday morning, the isolated
cabin Of an old negro named Mallard was cor
rallied by an armed, masked mob, who demanded
the immediate surrender Of one OF his sons. few
days since a desperate attempt was made to
murder the plantation owner, with whom some
difficulty had been had by the negro. Mallard
disappeared Immediately after the assault, but 1t
was soon discovered that he had sought security
at his fathers home The tOttertng parent refused
to hearken to the tnfurtated mems demands and
bolted from the door, with the avowal on his lips
that he would secure protection at q nearby
house. He had not proceeded more than thirty
steps before he fell dead in his tracks, with his
breast perforated by the contents OF dozen rifles
TWO OF the Mallard boys, including the desired
party, had previously got an inkling OF the In
tended midnight visit, and when they detected
the sounds OF approach they quietly crawled be-
meath q big bush. Not receiving any further re-
spouse from the cabin the besiegers rdded 1t with
buckshot, wound1ng seriously IT'S only inmate, an
make an outcry. While the mob was engaging it
SELF In this directonhe negroes concealed beneath
the bush attempted to escape Their fleettng
forms were followed by fusillade OF shot, but
they successfully eluded pursuit. One OF the fugt-
lives returned to the village next morning with
scalp wound, and the other supposed TO be head.
Coroner Coleman held an inquest In the case
Friday morning, and as no tangible testimony
could be gained from the witnesses sworn the jury
without further Investigation reported this YER
dict: "Death from gunshOt wounds at the hands
OF unknown parties, and that the same was
murder"

REGULATING HIS MARRIAGE IN CHIN


From the New York Tribune
One OF the leading spirits In the Monaghan COL
ony In Brooklyn Is Ju Sing, who has taken the
American name OF Joseph N. Singleton. In July
he married Miss Henrietta E Hill, with whom he
became acquainted In the Chinese Sunday school
connected with DR.. Behrend's Central Congre-
gatiOnal church She was q teacher In the school,
and III Sing was one OF her pupils. He has been
prominent In the Affairs OF the Chinese Home and
and the Christian Union Tor Chinese Work, and
has been active In breaking up fantan and other
Gently a rumOr spread that he was already mar
r1ed In China when he took Miss Hill to be his
bride. The matter has been investigated by those
interested In preventing scandal in the work
among the Chinese, and the facts elected
are these: The Chinese custom is for the parents
select brides for their sons In their infancy and
make the match with the parents OF the girl.
Ii the young man refuses to carry out the ar
rangements OF his father and mother he forfeits
all share In their possessions. In Ju Sings case
he returned TO China from oakland. Cal, several
years ago, and was married In the Chinese man
ner to the girl OF his parents choice but he left
her at once and returned 70 America. He claims
that the drinking OF wine, which is regarded an
that he never lived with the girl, and hence the
marriage Is OF no effect. 1t Is also claimed that
heather marriage ceremony would not be valid
under the laws OF this country anyway. Single
tons friends claim that the matter was fully eX-
am1ned before he married Miss Hill In jersey City
by the Rev. L. A. Mewry, and that competent
legal authority decided that he was perfectly
to marry as he pleased. The matter has caused
discussion among the MOngolians In Brooklyn.

are here to be used In kidnapping two Cuban
American citizens supposed to Oe implicated In the

be at all difficult. SO Ear as de[ense is concerned
the town has none. There is not even militia COM
pany on the island. The importance attached to
the recent 1libustering expedition is shown by the
activity OF the Spanish government. The latest
news from Cuba has II that the force OF l1buSJerS
landed near Matanzas, numbering nifty -seven men,
was led by Manuel Garcia, and that he was killed
in the skirmish with the troops and civil guards.
This Information Is diScredited In some quarters
and nothing official can be learned. GunbOats
